<p>Hi everyone. I am rising junior. I took June SAT take. I was surprised at CR because it was so hard compared to Blue Book. I got 490 (CR) and 720 (M). (540 W with 9 essay); (did not study writing at all because university I want to go does not care at all when it selects admission or scholarship) </p>

<p>To get full tuition scholarship, I need 1330 (only CR and M). Is it easy to get 1330 before this summer vacation ends? 720 on Math was so stupid. I made many mistakes. I can get 800(at least 760) on Math next time. (I got 35 on ACT Math 32 on Science). </p>

<p>So, I need to raise 490 to 570. Before I took June test, I memorized half of DH volume 1. Now, I memorized all vocab on Direct Hits 1 and 1/3 of DH volume 2. Still, I dont know many vocab on SC. (usually get 8/19 or 10/19. sometimes 13/19.) For me, Long Passage Qs are so easy (usually get 1 wrong each passage). Short Passage and SC are the problems.</p>

<p>I just dont understand short passage Q(usually get only half of them.) After memorizing all vocab on Direct Hits, do i need to buy other vocab book like Word Smart ?? My friend who got 700 on CR memorized Word Smart 1, 2 and DH 1,2 (said Barrons 3500 is useless…) </p>

<p>If you have any advice, Please help me. I need to get at least 570 on CR. (want to get at least 600 to get additional scholarship…)</p>

<p>short passage? specifically what questions
look at why you are getting questions wrong, the issue is specific to you. Go through the critical reading of one or multiple practice tests without a time limit and really just try to understand all of the questions/answers, and what you are missing for the ones you got wrong
The blue book official collegeboard SAT study guide is really accurate, esp. if you get the most recently released one. You can also go on their website, or try tutoring services
you need to do more than just run yourself through the test or keep trying to answer the questions without going over what need to do different next time look up things the answer explaination talks about, or any words like tone, voice or message you do not understand and read examples of them until you get it, you can use the regular internet</p>
